Dear brothers and sisters, This morning, our dear friend, BRIAN SWATEK, suffered a serious stroke. His brother, TIM, found him. Paramedics rushed him to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights. Within a half hour, surgeons went in and removed two blood clots from his brain. His sister called me, and I went to the hospital and just returned home. 1) Brian did wake up. He was able to communicate in sign-language to questions from the doctors and nurses. However, his communication is limited to brief answers. He does not know yet that he suffered a stroke. 2 There are absolutely NO visitors allowed except his family. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT HIM BY PHONE, TEXT, EMAIL, ETC. NO! 3 I gave Brian the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.. 4 If you wish to send a card or note, send to, MR. BRIAN SWATEK, 453 Sutherland Lane, Prospect Heights, IL 60070. 5 Brian does have serious damage on the left side of his body. He will face a long rehabilitation. 6 I will keep people informed about his health condition. 7 PRAY FOR BRIAN SWATEK. PRAY HIS FAMILY. PRAY!!!!! Father Joe Mulcrone
